The editorial take
The wine list is the reason to come. It is organized first by varietal, then by country, then by region, with extensive Champagne, sparkling, rosé, white, red, magnum, dessert, and dealcoholized sections. A three-tier wine club adds monthly bottles, happy hour, tastings, and bottle discounts. Cocktails rotate alongside the wine, and there is a $25 dealcoholized Chardonnay for non-drinkers.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Champagne section: Dom Perignon 2013 is listed at $499. For a red, the Shafer "Hillside Select" Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 from Napa Valley is listed at $550. If you want a non-alcoholic pour, Zilch Chardonnay from California is listed at $25.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who want a varietal-first list with serious Champagne and Napa Cabernet depth, and who may want to join a club that includes monthly bottles, happy hour, tastings, and bottle discounts. Anyone seeking a non-alcoholic wine option will find one here.
- When should I go?
- The wine club includes happy hour, so that is the natural window for club members and anyone comparing bottles before committing. Otherwise, the list itself is the draw at any standard service time.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Bottle prices on the list run from $25 for Zilch dealcoholized Chardonnay to $599 for Pol Roger "Sir Winston Churchill" Champagne 2013. Mid-list Champagne and Napa Cabernet sit in the several-hundred-dollar range, with Dom Perignon 2013 at $499 and Shafer "Hillside Select" Cabernet 2018 at $550.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A varietal-first, country-and-region-organized list with extensive Champagne, sparkling, rosé, white, red, magnum, dessert, and dealcoholized sections, hand-selected by a team with over ten years in the wine world. The list carries Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence honors for 2023 and 2024, and the wine club has three membership tiers at $30, $50, and $120 per month.
